I'm a big 914 nut, at last count my father and I together own 9 of them right now including 3 out of 500 made 914LE's and 3 of 3500 made 914-6's. A 914 purchased for under $7500 is very very likely to have structural rust and need new frame parts, floor pan, and rear trunk pan. Right of the bat you are spending money fixing (and then painting) the car before you even bolt on one performance part.
